Passengers reported lightning as the reason the train lost power Sunday night, but a Disney official said there was no evidence of an actual lightning strike.

"It's not a real frequent occurrence, but it's something we train and prepare for frequently throughout the year so that we're prepared just in case something like this happens," said Reedy Creek Emergency Services Assistant Chief Bo Jones. "We believe it's weather-related but I don't know for sure I can't confirm what the cause of the outage was."

Disney officials tried to restart the train but were unable to restore power.

"When that was unsuccessful, we began our evacuation efforts to remove guests from the car," Jones said.

All of the passengers were evacuated, and there were no reports of any injuries, according to Reedy Creek fire officials. About 120 guests had to be removed.

Many of the passengers had to climb through an emergency hatch on the roof of the train where they were strapped into a safety line and walked out through another train car and down an escape stairwell.

Others, including two or three guests in wheelchairs, were evacuated using a special platform.

"We started with a platform truck that we have that's designed to lift up on scissors, lifts up to the level of the monorail door," Jones said. "From the time we began our evacuation process, we had all the guests removed in approximately an hour."

AN EVACUATION AT DISNEY'S ICONIC MONORAIL. THE LAST TIME WAS IN 2009 WHEN LIGHTNING STRUCK THE TRAIN. IT IS NOT A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE BUT SOMETHING WE TRAIN AND PREPARE FOR, YOU KNOW, FREQUENTLY DUEOUT THE YEAR SO WE'RE PREPARED JUST IN CASE SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS. IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT CAUSED SUNDAY'S POWER OUTAGE WHICH OCCURRED DURING SEVERE RAIN. DISNEY OFFICIALS SAY THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THE TRAIN WAS STRUCK. WE BELIEVE IT'S WEATHER RELATED BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. I CAN'T CONFIRM WHAT THE CAUSE WAS. ASSISTANT CHIEF JONES SAYS THEY RECEIVED A 911 CALL AROUND 6:30 SUNDAY EVENING WHEN THE MONORAIL LOST POWER. DISNEY TRIED TO REENERGIZE THE TRACKS IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE TRAIN TO THE NEAREST STATION. WHEN THAT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL WE BEGAN TO HELP REMOVE THE GUESTS FROM THE CAR. 120 GUESTS HAD TO BE REMOVED. ONE PERSON TWEETED... LITERALLY STUCK ON A MONORAIL AT DISNEY. LIGHTNING STRUCK AND WE IMMEDIATEEDLY STOPPED. I'M CONVINCED I AM GOING TO DIE. JONES SAYS SOME WERE EVACUATED THROUGH THE EMERGENCY HATCH AND HAD TO WALK ACROSS THE TOP OF THE CARS SECURED TO A SAFETY LINE BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO CLIMB DOWN STAIRS. OTHERS INCLUDING GUESTS IN WHEELCHAIRS WERE EVACUATED USING A SPECIAL PLATFORM. WE STARTED WITH A PLATFORM TRUCK THAT WE HAVE THAT'S DESIGNED TO LIFT UP ON SCISSORS LIFTS UP TO THE LEVEL OF THE MONORAIL. DISNEY SAYS THEY'LL REVIEW THE INCIDENT BUT STRESS NOBODY WAS INJURED. FROM THE TIME WE BEGAN EVACUATION PROCESS WE HAD ALL THE GUESTS REMOVED IN AN HOUR. THE MONORAIL WAS UP AND
